While your question is unclear and shows that you are somewhat confused, I believe you are probably asking about Dynamic Random Access Memory (DRAM) devices. These devices store data as electrical charge in billions or trillions of microscopic capacitors. Because no insulator is perfect the charge in these capacitors slowly leaks off, meaning to avoid losing the date the memory must be refreshed by periodically reading every capacitor and writing it back.

I have no idea what you were thinking when you wrote "requires a constant electrical charge" as the charge on the capacitors when they need to be refreshed may be half or less of the charge on the capacitors when they were first written or after they have been refreshed. The charge on the capacitors is never constant, which is the reason they need refreshing in the first place.

The first Dynamic Memory was built in 1941 by John Vincent Atanasoff and Clifford Berry, it used capacitors but was not randomly accessible. It had a storage capacity of sixty 50 bit signed binary words and was refreshed once per second.

Later Dynamic Memories included delay line memories (both mechanical and electrical) and CRT DRAM that stored the charge as tiny spots on the inside face of the vacuum tube.

What is a synchronizer?

Synchronous motors are those that run only at Synchronous speed ie.. constant speed.


What is difference in motor winding according duty s1 to s9?

S1Continuous duty The motor works at a constant load for enough time to reach temperature equilibrium. S2Short-time duty The motor works at a constant load, but not long enough to reach temperature equilibrium. The rest periods are long enough for the motor to reach ambient temperature. S3Intermittent periodic duty Sequential, identical run and rest cycles with constant load. Temperature equilibrium is never reached. Starting current has little effect on temperature rise. S4Intermittent periodic duty with starting Sequential, identical start, run and rest cycles with constant load. Temperature equilibrium is not reached, but starting current affects temperature rise. S5Intermittent periodic duty with electric braking Sequential, identical cycles of starting, running at constant load and running with no load. No rest periods. S6Continuous operation with intermittent loadSequential, identical cycles of running with constant load and running with no load. No rest periods.S7Continuous operation with electric brakingSequential identical cycles of starting, running at constant load and electric braking. No rest periods.S8Continuous operation with periodic changes in load and speedSequential, identical duty cycles run at constant load and given speed, then run at other constant loads and speeds. No rest periods

What is a triangle-wave voltage function?

Triangle-wave voltage signal is a periodic signal that always has a constant positive and negative slope and no zero slope. It is exactly how it is sounds... a triangle shaped wave. /\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/ - just like that. Nothing in this world can naturally produce perfect triangle waves. Every vibrates as periodic sinusoid. Triangle waves can be generated from sin waves with the use of Fourier Series. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fourier_series By summing sin waves with different periods nearly any time-continuous signal can be created. -VM
